Google Developers have dropped hints on Twitter on the new Android OS known as Android P. According to reports, this version of Android OS will feature support for call recording both on the receivers and caller ends.

Android 9.0 will most likely be announced during Google I/O 2018, which we expect to take place in mid-May, potentially 16-18 May 2018. It is possible we'll see an earlier release in March, as we did in 2017 with Oreo.

WHAT NEW FEATURES TO EXPECT IN ANDROID 9.0

There have been very few rumours so far as to what we can expect from Android P, though XDA suggests Google will remove access to unofficial APIs (those not part of the official SDK) - news that will upset some developers.

Other changes we can expect to see in the upcoming update, according to the enthusiast site, include support for Wi-Fi Direct Printing support and Bluetooth hearing aids, and better integration for Android Things.

One potential new feature is to do with smaller image file sizes. In iOS 11 Apple introduced HEIC files, which are also known as HEIF or High Efficiency Image Format. It’s the still image version of HEVC, which is the latest video codec. It makes for Jpeg images just 50 percent of their previous size, can store image edits and multiple photos in one file (think Live Photo and burst mode), and it supports transparency and 16-bit colour.

HEIC is not a proprietary image format developed by Apple itself, so there's every possibility Google could opt for the same format. However, Google is also working with the Alliance for Open Media on its own version that is currently able to create images 15 percent smaller than HEIC. It would make sense to use the better version, of course, but for now the project is very much in its infancy. Whether it will be ready for Android 9.0 we simply don't know.

Things we would like to see in the new OS include a faster rollout and less defragmentation among devices, improved Picture-in-Picture app support, and further enhancements on battery life and performance.

A new update for the Infinix users especially those using the Note 4 smartphone. There is a new development that very soon you will be able to upgrade your device to the latest Android 8 Oreo.

Infinix mobility is working on the beta Android 8 Update for the Infinix Note 4 X572 device which was released last year. Below are some of the key specs of the device.

The Note 4 packs 13MegaPixel back Camera AutoFocus probably with a Dual LED Flash for bright Night shots, while in the front you also have 13 MegaPixel AF camera with a soft flash. Both Infinix Note 4 and Note 4 Pro will feature 3gb/4gb RAM and 32gb/64gb internal storage. One of the reasons why Note 4 is similar to Galaxy Note 5 is the addition of X-Pen which brings more swag to the Phablet. The device comes with massive 5050mAh capacity.

Infinix which is a popular device had to bring up the update for users and some have started receiving the beta update.

Samsung devices are also yet to release Android 8.0 Oreo especially the J7 smartphones. With this infinix update, they should think of updating some smartphones.

Meanwhile, the company has not officially made a report when they will release the update. They might start with the beta update first.

2. C – Dennis Ritchie
Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie created the C programming language between 1967 -1973 at AT&T Bell Labs. Cis still one of the popular and most used in the System programming.

3. C++ – Bjarne Stroustrup
Bjarne Stroustrup; is well known for his invention and development in C++ programming language. C++ is a higher language than C when C language was very popular. C++ is still the most used programming language and not that easy to use.

4. Python – Guido van Rossum
Python is a programming language used more in software development, web designing, app developing, information security and many more! This makes code very easy to read and understand. Python is designed by Guido van Rossum of CWI. Python has successfully replaced C and Java, unlike the old generation.

e.g of websites using python; Google, Yahoo! It will be nice to learn this language.

5. PHP – Rasmus Lerdorf
PHP (Personal Home Page) was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995 and it is being used in big companies like Facebook, Wikipedia, WordPress and Almost half of blogs and websites use this internet language.

PHP was ones a competitor to Microsoft’s Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script engine. Now over 30 million Web sites and 2 million Web servers are currently using it. It's a nice programming language!

Although there are numerous languages, but these few stand out because of their compatibility feature and relative simplicity. You can pick up any from the list to learn first. Did I miss anyone? Tell us your favorite via comment section

There are many reasons why you might want to port from your current network to another network. It might be because of poor network, high cost of data plans, or to enjoy the recent Airtel 2GB at N100 data cheat to newly ported subscribers, which is the main reason why I am writing this little tutorial.

Although, there may be a little fee attached when trying to port your line to a new service provider, but it may be considered negligible since it seems you are trying to pay for a new sim. Also when you port, you’d also get to retain your old number, therefore if one gets to call you through that number, it’d still go through. Without much long talks, here are the steps involved. Ps it works for all network.

HOW TO PORT YOUR SIM TO ANOTHER NETWORK PROVIDER

If you are porting from one network to another, you need to visit the outlet of the network that you are porting to.

STEP 1: Visit any nearest outlet of the network you’re porting to recipient.

STEP 2: You’ll be given MNP request form to fill and you should have a valid ID which could be either of Voter’s card, Student ID cards, Driver’s license, International Passport

STEP 3: A new SIM will be given to you and registered and you’ll be told to send “PORT” to “3232”.

STEP 4: Your request will be forwarded by the recipient to NPC (Number Portability Clearing House) where it will be approved and validated. If validation is OK, you’ll be informed as the SIM will be activated.

Sometimes, your data subscription gets finished in the middle of browsing about important stuff. At this point, the option would be to borrow data and pay back later. This service is really helpful to many individuals, especially in emergency situations.

You can borrow data using the USSD code which I will reveal as I proceed. This can be done on any device be it Blackberry, Android, iOS, or any internet-enabled device. Your account will be debited anytime you recharge at the exact amount of data that was loaned.

2. Your line must be registered and regularly recharged.
3. You must pay back all borrowed airtime.

If you were able to meet the requirements above, you can now proceed to borrow data using the steps below:

pricing and tariff
Available amounts for borrowing are: N50, N100, N200, N500 and N1000. you’ll pay 15% of the borrowed amount as a service fee. For example, when you borrow N50 you’ll receive N42.50.

Its really been a while since we last enjoyed free browsing from telecom companies in Nigeria. One has to commend the effort they are putting in place to coverup loop holes that occur on their servers. Airtel however have decided to help us out with this new cheat.

They reason I call this Magic Sim is that it requires no VPN app (AnonyTun, Tweakware, Psphon, Stark VPN...) to power it. You just need your airtel sim. Another reason is that it works on all internet enabled devices.

The magic sim offers you 2GB for N100 and a whopping 20GB for N1000, that's crazy if you ask me. No network does this. Having said that, let me walk you through the processes involved. To
tell you the truth, it is a bit long and tedious, but nothing good comes
easy in this world as we all know.

HOW TO GET AIRTEL 2GB FOR N100 AND 20GB FOR N1000

There are some procedures you need to follow in order to enjoy this overload data from Airtel. The cheat has been confirmed working by me and some few people.

What you have to do is to port another network to Airtel network. For instance: Port MTN network (new or old line) to Airtel network. That's all you need to do to get this cheat activated.

HOW TO PORT ANOTHER LINE TO AIRTEL NETWORK

REQUIREMENTS

Get a registered MTN Sim

A valid ID Card (Must contain the names you used during sim registration)

If above requirements are met, then follow the next steps below.

1. Go to any Airtel service Shop close to your location, then request Sim port
2. They will give you a form to fill.
3. Follow whatever they told you to do for a successful porting.
4. You will receive a text message from Airtel on the MTN line you intend to port.
5. Now reboot your phone when you notice your MTN network has disappeared.
6. You will be directed to insert your newly ported sim which is Airtel.
7. Switch off your phone, then remove and reinsert your sim
8. You will get a confirmation message from Airtel that your sim has been ported.

Now, we have done the most important and difficult part of this tutorial. Make sure you follow the steps above, Airtel agents may instruct otherwise.

HOW TO ACTIVATE AIRTEL MAGIC SIM

To get the data cheat activated, you need to recharge the Airtel line from your Bank or Zoto Recharge Wallet. If you are new to Zoto, Click here to learn more.

NOTE: Do not recharge your sim using Recharge Card Pins because you may not be given the free data.

Recharge your Airtel line with N100 from any of the mentioned payment method. (via Bank or Zoto Recharge)

You will receive a message from Airtel that you have been rewarded with 2GB free data.

HOW TO GET AIRTEL 20GB FOR N1000

This step is similar to 9mobile 5GB for N1000. You just need to accumulate more by recharging again and again.

If you recharge your Airtel sim with N100 again, you will be given 4GB. i.e (N500 for 10GB.)

So in the same way, if you recharge N100 each on the Artel line 5 times, this equals 20GB for N1000.

So the more you accumulate by recharging your Airtel line, the more data you receive.

Any given data has a 30 days validity period.

You can't accumulate more than 50GB per month.

You will receive your free data anytime you recharge your Airtel line using your Bank or Zoto Recharge while your money is still intact. Remember not to use recharge card PINs. If you still have issues carry these out, lemme know through comment section.
